There are two categories of motorcycle riders.....those who've crashed....and those who haven't crashed yet. All the kevlar and carbon fiber in the world will not save your ass if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time. Having said that, some of us do possess a 6th sense and can see / anticipate situations before they happen and proactively employ safe practices. Harley riders are generally not occasional riders (I'm one). We ride more than most so statistically are involved in more incidents. Crotch rocket riders are generally male and less than 20 years of age who have testosterone coursing through the veins. They take chances and usually ride like they are late for a date. Then there's us older dudes.....who just like to loaf along and smell the roses / coffee / fresh bread / etc. along the way. We are not safer. But we are wiser. Ride safe folks. The dummies are out there everywhere and they're trying to run us all down!
